Intro

The Mandeville Beer Garden is a locally owned restaurant with an ever rotating selection of diverse Craft Beer and a surprisingly good food menu. Located close to downtown Sarasota in a converted automotive garage, it's an easy walk from downtown and is the perfect place to go after a long day at work or on the beach.

Make sure that you read the hand decorated craft beer board when you go in. It always gives you the details including alcohol content, style of beer, and price. Go once and Mandeville will become one of your go-to spots in Sarasota for trying different craft brews and relaxing.

What Makes It Great

The Mandeville Beer Garden is a casual restaurant with an ever changing and rotating selection of craft beer. The owners converted an abandoned auto garage just across Fruitville Road from Downtown Sarasota giving it an open and unique atmosphere that you will love. You will usually find the huge garage bay doors open during the Spring, Fall and Winter months making it open to the actual beer garden itself where you can play ping pong, corn hole or just watch your favorite sports on the TVs.

The menu has something for everyone including burgers, sandwiches, and some terrific salads. Make sure you try the home made pork rinds (they are much better than what you remember as a kid) and if you are in the mood for a burger, the Mac & Cheese Waffle Burger is a must. On the salad side order the Chopped Baby Kale, Buffalo Mozzarella & Black Quinoa Salad, it is one of the best in the area.

Now if you are going to a beer garden you have to try the beer right? You will not be disappointed in the selection. Mandeville keeps 30 craft beers on tap and over 150 more available in the bottle or can. The selection is always well thought out and always features a selection of local breweries that you may not find anywhere else.

Who is Going to Love It

Mandeville Beer Garden is great for the craft beer connoisseur and those just looking to get outside and have some fun. There is always an event planned with live music or tap takeovers with various breweries. Check out the event board when you go in or ask Rebekah, the owner, whats coming up on the schedule.

Bring the whole family and have an impromptu family ping pong tournament or corn hole challenge. There is plenty of room for everyone and if you have a special event, let them know and you can reserve an entire part of the restaurant.

Directions, Parking, & Regulations

There is plenty of free parking in the Mandeville parking lot or along the street in front. Bring fido with you but keep him on a leash as there will probably be more dogs there at the same time as well as families.
